Terra Nova Equatorial Bold

Equatorial Bold is more my cup of tea than the Southern Cross. Ummm…cup of coffee I mean.
This is a full city roast, closer to the dark espressos that I love. The beans were dark and oily and very fragrant. In fact I will say that, although so far, Terra Nova coffees have not been my favorites (I still like Ugly Mug the best), they have been the most aromatic.
The aroma is sharp and almost lemony in the bag. The lemony scent mellows to a citrussy, almost like Clemintines in the cup.
The flavor is peppery at first followed by a mellow acidity. The website states that it has a mild smoky finish but I did not think so.
I like this better than the Southern Cross, although again, I think it is because of my preference for dark roasts.
With cream and stevia it is smooth and rich. Would be a great afternoon coffee with pie, or an after dinner cup, although the caffeine kick is strong.
On a one to ten rating I would give this coffee a seven, better than many not as good as some. Definitely worth a try.
This is organic and Fair Trade, two things that would give this coffee and edge over other coffees that I might like a little better.
